hello, I had tips-and-tricks in game, open the menu and you will see
1) I didn’t quite understand how the symbol S differs from C
the signal is only freight (ex: [item-iron]) => add 1 cargo condition
the signal + S is freight and same signal (ex: [item-iron]S) => add 1 cargo condition and add 1 circuit condition with the signal
the signal + C is only circuit (ex: [item-iron]C) => add 1 circuit condition
2) Is it possible to add a text label at the end of the station name? (Including to distinguish between stations with the same behavior, but different groups of trains)?
yes you can have a text label at the begin or at the end
3) I didn’t understand about the white icon (on the screenshots there is only a gas station icon). Is it just a label not handled by the code?
it's juste use similare icon but is manually scheduled, not by script
4) What happens if you manually change the train schedule (will it be updated only after the station is renamed? What is considered renaming: opening a window and clicking the checkbox? Adding a space?)
you can't change the train schedule if you use green icon, if you change the station name all trains will updated schedule
5) Description of screenshots is outdated.
yes i must update but you can see in game menu
6) Add a description of the w parameter (generally understandable, but the guide is clearly missing)
If you use quantity '1w' (one wagon), the schedule set automaticaly the quantity for the number of wagon.
ex: item stack size 50 and 1 wagon of 40 cargo => quantity = 50*40
